looks like a stylized Kane Kanenaga would match the sanbonsugi hamon

my mistake went back to check zip file he sendt, goldmasaune it was. no need for that language here Doug.

It says this sword was made in China out of meteorites .....just kidding looks good so far and youll get a real answer soon im sure. It does look like battle mark. more pix after the answer please.

i asked for pix when it first came on file was Masamunegold....and he just now states it was told by someone its a Masamune...be careful out there. tang shots show the end of the nagkago very thick compaired to the blade.

A Im sure i wont but thanks for showing, btw i never buy anything because of the mei.

at the time im d***d ...lol

thanks for showing i have my bid in.

just a guess on the last two Yoshitsugu?

have you recived the sword yet? no use getting the cart ready without the horse.

you can get a good saya from Mike V also...but this is all shipping to USA id check your side of the pond first.

i think that was after looking at his web page , if im wrong sorry.

Jacq always is forever, and we wonder why newibes dont want to jump in. Yasurime i do not belive is a by product. Brian want me to split this into a new thread? it was just a radom thought on what Carlo posted

Joakim are all of his blades with out fittings??? this seems a bit strange or is it just me.

really never gave it much thought but would not the slanting Yasurime all so serve in doing that?

Carlo i think we were all hoping that was a joke by him...fingers crossed

not only damaging the kissaki ive seen the come out the end of a box...very scary. esp to whos handlng them.

once more from sword and the same

think we just found MacStarr...or not? all his website tsuba are repos dont think id trust his others auctions.

Heard he was in jail and now out, lets keep a eye out boys.

anyone know what hes going by now n the Bay?

when rick decides what to do i think we should, i was the one that mailed it back, i was hoping he would not post until we had talked it over. In the heat of the moment he did, now all we can do is hope it gets back to me in the condition i sent it. the kind member who went to look at it for me may have missed it at the show thats why i wanted to wait. When all the dust has settled it will be known.

was asked in PM who would be allowed to come in and who is really advanced. reply is it would be open to anyone who wants to come and go. some are more advanced than they think they are and alot not as advanced as they think they are.

To play devils advocate ill take the other side, on many occasions a newbie would ask the standard newbie question only to fall on def reply, or with a out lash of boy that's a piece of junk hope you didn't pay over x amount of dollars what a dumb buy, type of response. seen it happen all too often, one of the reasons I took on the Mod job was to help the new guy with the standard question. I think newbie corner is not a bad idea, they can ask basically the same questions but in a place when more advanced collectors don't have to enter. does seem like a waste of space and can see a lot of Translation Assistance getting sent back and forth, but a sound concept none the less.
